Why can't I download an app that is 17+ on my ipod touch 4th gen with restrictions off? I still can't even if I turn it on and make sure the 12+ is selected. Would this be the problem with the ipod touch 4th gen is it doesn't recognize anything over 12+? So whats the + for then?
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6
- So you are saying with all Restriction unset (when you go to Settings>generalRestrictions no passcode is requirested) you still can't download them?
- Is the ap compatible with your iPod? Many require iOS 7.
Yes my restrictions are turned completely off. I am running 6.1.6 iOS and the app only requires 6.0 and newer. Here's what happened and it may help. The app was already on my iPod and working. Yesterday it required an update so I updated it. When it was done updating the app(Yahoo News app) was gone. When I went to the App Store it showed install, to which it did. When I went back to home there were 2 Yahoo News apps on my home screen now. So I deleted one then they both went bye bye. Now when I go back to App Store the free button is shaded.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Download app on computer and sync to iPod

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
